Given the premise, it is important to know when you should be listening to your body and responding responsibly.

If you feel ill effects that COULD be symptoms of a heart attack you have choices: running to the ER to get checked out OR getting expert medical advice before you get to the hospital to find out you have a severe case of indigestion.
A device like AlwaysConnected Solutions‘ MultiAlert can be the perfect way to provide you access to expert medical advice at the push of a button.

Remember: quick response means better outcomes.
